World History Standards Bingo
Directions: Each of the concepts in the squares below was taken from the McRel Standards for World History,
found at www.mcrel.org/compendium/SubjectTopics.asp?SubjectID=6. Most are benchmarks from Standard
44 (“Understands the search for community, stability, and peace in an interdependent world”); Standard 45
(“Understands major global trends since World War II”) and Standard 46 (“Understands long-term changes and
recurring patterns in world history”).
To see how the same trends, patterns and concepts you study in global history are repeated in our world today,
find one related article, editorial, graphic, or photo example in The New York Times for each item below, and write
in a headline or description. When you have a diagonal, horizontal or vertical row of examples, you have a Bingo!
